The Might of Mount Bromo

Welverdiende slechte reputatie

One small step for man...
A 3-hour, 20$ flight from Medan in Sumatra to Surabaya in Java would be our next endeavour. There we unfortunately opted for another chickenbus of sorts, which would come back to haunt us, me in particular. Again it took over 3 hours, again it was loud, ...

Bromo at dawn

Comforts of Chinese food
We decided to stay the night in Probolinggo before setting off on the long journey to Bali. There was this bastard bemo driver who overcharged us by at least 15000 Rupiah if not more. This is why I dislike travelling through Indonesia by local transport. ...
